Prepare for Callbacks

After an initial interview, many legal employers will invite candidates to interview further at their offices in a “callback” or “flyback” interview. If you have landed a callback interview with a firm, public interest organization or government agency, congratulations! You are one step further in the interview process and closer to receiving an offer from that employer. Please report all callbacks to the Career Services Office.
